“I’m tired of people looking for something between me and A.J.,” an irate Girardi said. “Me and A.J. have mutual respect for each other. I cheer for this guy. He cheers for me … I want the guy to do well.”

if anyone should be replace on the fan it is Mike Francesssa because he is an a hole. He only talks about the yankees and giants. He should talk about the jets because they are the best team in new york (jersey) ,giants will be killed on saturday and christmas eve. Can’t wait to show everyone who is the team to beat in the nfl. Jets will take home the super bowl this year no doubt they will be playing with something to. plax knows the truth thats why he came to a real team.

Amazing. I thought I was the only one who thought that. He burps like Howard does, tries to imitate Dice like Howard does. Such a kiss ass when it comes to celebrities. Give me your number and we will text each other.. A Howard Stern want to be !!!!!

The picture with the story isnt from saturday night you morons, the picture where he is giving the finger is, look at the background this is not the game where Burnett gets upset. There might be nothing to it, but the jacket is not the issue.

Carton is a joke. He’s supposed to know something and this is just rediculous. Now he is saying Nick Swisher should have taken a 2-0 pitch down the middle instead of driving it 408 feet. He obviously has never played the game at any competitive level. Nick works the count to a hitters count then gets the pitch he needed and just misses. That’s baseball – if Carton were coaching no one would swing with less than 2 strikes in that situation. Sounds like little league to me.

I recorded the game on Sat night. When Burnett hands the ball to Girardi he IS NOT wearing a jacket. In the photo in the NY Post he is clearly handing the ball to someone wearing a jacket! So clearly this photo was not from Sat night’s game.

Why go to a game that AJ is pitching? The only reason the Yankees hierarchy isn’t concerned with Burnett and will keep running him out there is because the stupid consumer keeps coming. If you make tainted sausage that gives your customers diarrhea it wouldn’t be long before your business dries up and it gets flushed down the toilet.

Carton’s a loon and is blowing this up purely for ratings! Boomer: Where’s the voice of reason you’re suppose to bring to this show?! This is a “picture” of a “pitcher” handing the ball to his manager with a bent index finger. (That’s your case?!) The photo doesn’t clearly show the other fingers to make any determination that the “bird” was actually “flipped!” And even if you make that stretch on this alleged “bird flip,” I still don’t think it was directed at Girardi, but instead maybe at the umpire’s call or his (Burnett’s) own situation, in general.

Oh, for crying out loud. Why do people look for things that aren’t there? The photo wasn’t “definitive proof” of anything except that A.J. Burnett is a pitcher practicing a grip perhaps unintentionally. It could be a defense mechanism for him, perhaps a way for him to soothe himself using that grip, but I didn’t see any evidence of “the finger” in that exchange. He wasn’t even looking at Girardi.
